I am taking my chances. I just placed an order.
A potential issue ... delivery date could be by May 4. Is it sent from Mars?

Last year someone on eBay was selling 10 rolls of Ektar for nothing and I bought some, it turned to be that a hacker stole the seller's account. I was fully refunded in the end though. They don't build up positive feedbacks, those hackers just steal some long-time-no-use accounts with a little positive feedbacks from ages ago.

If it makes you feel any better, B&H is selling it for $6.99/roll.

I want some B&W film for my SWC. It is cheap.

Wow, and it used to be 2,95 in 2010.
Of course had to pick up the phone and place an order.
RFF Experiment begins 😂
This pricing may be possible if it were factory direct. AFAIK there was an Austrian saying they could get rechanneled Acros at 4€ a roll.

The film stock pictures and item descriptions of the cheap sales apparently come from this seller, whose listings have more reasonable prices.
Just so you know. 🙂

To me, it would appear that it (the image at least) is coming out of Taobao Marketplace, founded by Alibaba. If you really want to take a chance, you can get 5 packs of the Acros 100 for around $4 (US), at least that is what I'm deriving from google translate.
To quote Wikipedia:
Founded by Alibaba Group on May 10, 2003, Taobao Marketplace facilitates consumer-to-consumer (C2C) retail by providing a platform for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs to open online stores that mainly cater to consumers in Chinese-speaking regions (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and also abroad.[4] At the end of 2010, the number of registered members on Taobao had reached over 370 million, around 80% of the Chinese online shopping market.[5]
With around 760 million product listings as of March 2013, Taobao Marketplace is one of the world’s top 10 most visited websites according to Alexa.[6] For the fiscal year ending on March 31, 2013, the combined gross merchandise volume (GMV) of Taobao Marketplace and Tmall.com exceeded 1 trillion yuan,[7][8] more than that of eBay and Amazon combined. The Economist calls it "the country's biggest online marketplace".

Just ordered some myself. Not completely expecting to receive any, but will be a great surprise and a happy day if I do. I've depressed the shutter not really sure the shot would "come out", this isn't that much different. Exciting, and foolish both!

Interestingly, when I click on "see other items" eBay shows that the seller has no items for sale...
On another note, they didn't put the effort in to make $17. They've 'sold' 23 x $17 today already, and on who knows how many other items.
It's easier to con 100 people out of $1 than one person out of $100 after all.

They have the Fujifilm 200 still, but when I put some in the cart I got this:
"The seller only allows buyers to purchase 1 item every 10 days."
I've never seen this before on eBay.

Dear Huss,
I bought my maximum allowable ten rolls for less than a case of beer. And I drink cheap beer too!
Like my one customer used to say, after his finely crafted bid for a construction project was opened, "Hey Tim, Win or lose, into the booze!"
It is a chance worth taking.
Regards,
Tim Murphy 🙂
